A crowd of people gathered outside the Milwaukee County Public Safety Building late Friday afternoon demanding justice for Corey Stingley, the teenager who died after being restrained in a convenience store.

Protesters believe Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm should have filed charges against the three men who restrained Stingley after he was caught shoplifting at VJ's Food Mart in West Allis.

Chisholm's office emailed WISN 12 News reporter Mike Anderson on Friday afternoon saying that the district attorney is already on record stating there is nothing to indicate race was a factor or played any role in this incident.

"There's no way that a grown individual and three grown men have no awareness when they are choking a child to death. They had enough awareness to think he posed a threat to them, from what they say. They had enough awareness to listen to the store clerk to tell them to watch him, but they don't have enough awareness to understand their own actions, that's totally ridiculous," Corey's father, Craig Stingley said.

Craig Stingley, is asking the U.S. Department of Justice to take a look at his son's case.
